Robbery suspect Eric Fletcher, 24, of Fort Myers, should now have more respect for bowlers after they bowled him over after he picked the wrong bowling alley for a holdup.

He is one of three suspects that allegedly fled in a car after robbing bowlers and their league payout money at a Fort Myers bowling alley, reports WZVN ABC News-7 in Fort Myers.

These fearless bowlers then followed the trio — even after one of the suspects shot a round into the ceiling of the alley before fleeing — in an attempt to get the car's tag number. The bowlers then blocked the trio in an apartment parking lot, where the alleged bowling banditos fired shots at them multiple times, according to reports.
